Principle of Operation
Sulfur chemiluminescence is a two stage detection method in which the sample is reduced in air and hydrogen under vacuum to generate sulfur monoxide. The sulfur monoxide is then carried to a reaction chamber where it reacts with ozone to generate sulfur dioxide and light. The light generated is measured by a photomultiplier tube, and this signal is linearly proportional to the quantity of sulfur in the sample.

Chromatography
Sulfur chemiluminescence can be used to measure total sulfur in a wide variety of hydrocarbons, ranging from methane to diesel fuel, by simply injecting the sample directly to the detector and measuring all of the sulfurs simultaneously. For gaseous samples, the installation of a chromatograph column prior to the detector allows the measurement of individual sulfur compounds. Since the detection method is equimolar, in response to all sulfurs, a chemiluminescence detector can easily be designed as a chromatograph or as a total sulfur analyzer. Sulfur chemiluminescence offers several advantages over other sulfur detection systems which make the detector simple to calibrate and use in a wide variety of applications: Equimolar response to all sulfurs Linearity from ppb to percent concentrations

Detector Sensitivity
Sensitivity was measured by making a small partial pressure injection of a 0.8 ppm COS standard. The detector was able to detect 5 ppb of COS with a signal to noise ratio of 10 to 1.
Calibration
Due to the reactive nature of sulfur compounds, calibration standards containing multiple sulfur components are normally unstable. This is particularly true at the lower ppm levels. The equal and selective response to sulfurs from the Sulfur Chemiluminescence Detector allows the standard to be made up with a single least reactive sulfur component in an inert background gas such as nitrogen. This standard is then available for on-line auto calibration and reference check functions eliminating most of the expensive technician time required for other calibration methods commonly used only in the lab. Conventional flame photometric detectors (FPDs), commonly used for sulfur measurement cannot be calibrated in the same manner because the individual sulfurs within a total sulfur peak all respond differently to the detector. A separate response factor would be required for each, which makes calibration costly and time consuming.
Software
Peak Simple lab software is a standard option for our laboratory units. This allows the full use of data manipulation and report generation functions. All process units have a Windows based configuration software package included. This allows for easy configuration via a laptop and downloading capability.
